(01-22) 18:04 PST SAN LEANDRO -- Authorities on Tuesday identified a man who was killed during an exchange of gunfire outside the Bay Fair BART station in San Leandro on Saturday afternoon while he was apparently waiting for a bus.

Kenneth Lee Seets, 50, of Fremont, died at the scene of the 12:2o p.m. shooting in the bus zone, according to BART police.

Two groups of three or four individuals each started arguing just outside the station and fired between 10 and 15 shots at each other, BART Police Deputy Chief Benson Fairow said. Seets appeared to have been an innocent bystander.

"He does not appear to have been involved with either group," Fairow said. "It's very sad."
